Man Is Looking For A Wife In 1865 And His Newspaper Ad Will Make You Want To Marry Him Now

Elite Daily

Netflix

The apps, the money, the awkwardness, the profile pics, and OMG, the bios?!?

And, look, I get it. It’s not easy to write a “great” personal profile.

Tinder

Or even a halfway decent one, apparently.

And, just so you know, this photo is of a random dude from 1865 – NOT the actual person who wrote the ad below.

In a post shared by Twitter user Max Roser, it turns out this gentleman caller placed the following personal ad back in 1865, and honestly?! It’s so pure and perfect.
